Heads
up: The Oakland Metro Operahouse has scheduled to host Marduk, a black
metal band with known white supremacist ties from Sweden that profits
off of glorifying Nazi imagery and songs about Nazi SS officers and
anti-semitism, on Saturday, February 18th. Marduk has just kicked
off a tour in the U.S. called Frontschwein North America 2017 tour.
'Frontschwein' is the name of their latest album which is entirely about
the Third Reich. The term 'Frontschwein' (meaning Frontline Pig) refers
to the nickname given to Nazi field marshal Walther Model because he
preferred to lead from the front and was known for his abuse and
crudity. One of Marduk's album is called 'Panzer Division
Marduk' (referring to the Nazi armored tank division in WWII). Another
Marduk album, 'Warschau' (the site of a Nazi concentration camp during
the Holocaust), uses photos of Nazi tanks rolling through the rubble of
Poland as cover and booklet artwork. The album sleeve of 'Iron Dawn' and
album cover of 'Here's No Peace' also show pictures of Nazi tanks. The
title on the cover of "Here's No Peace' is arranged in such fashion as
to resemble an honorific cuff band, a type of distinction badge which
the German Wehrmacht allowed individuals who were serving (or had
served) in some elite units (Grossdeutschland division, named Waffen-SS
divisions) or who took part of renowned campaigns to wear (North African
campaign, assault on Crete). Marduk's entire discography is
full of songs like "The Hangman of Prague", "Night of the Long Knives",
"Deathmarch", “To the Death’s Head True”...etc. The song "The Hangman of
Prague" is about Reinhard Heydrich, a high-ranking SS officer and
Holocaust architect ("The Hangman of Prague" was a moniker of Reinhard
Heydrich - second in command of the SS - in his capacity as the de-facto
Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia). They also have a song called
“The Blonde Beast” which is also a reference to Reinhard Heydrich, the
infamous Hangman of Prague. The term "Blond Beast" is often implied as
referring to the Aryan Race stemming from the intentional misreading of
Nietzsche instantiated by the Nazis. Their song "Afrika" is about a
high-ranking Nazi general Erwin Rommel aka "the Desert Fox" who was in
charge of the Afrika Korps. Morgan Steinmeyer, the guitarist
and founder of Marduk, who is a former housemate of Varg Vikernes (the
white supremacist murderer and hate crime convict behind Burzum), had
this to say about Vikernes having been convicted of hate speech against
Jews and Muslims in France in 2014: "It’s strange that it’s illegal to
dislike a religion. I find it really strange that you can’t have certain
views." http://www.metalblast.net/…/under-a-black-sun-an-interview-…
(Vikernes originally drew the attention of French authorities after
receiving the manifesto of Anders Breivik, the Norwegian man who killed
77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in 2011. Vikernes wrote a
blog post about how he agreed with much of Breivik’s views, but
suspected that the mass murderer was actually working on behalf of a
vast Jewish conspiracy. Soon after that, Vikernes’ wife Marie Cachet
purchased four rifles, which led the police to arrest the couple as a
pre-emptive measure before they could carry out any attacks.)
It's worth mentioning that Incantation, another band on the bill as part
of this tour, has a previous association with white supremacists.
Incantation previously featured a neo-Nazi vocalist Craig Pillard whose
projects include Sturmführer (a play on the word “obersturmführer,” a
military rank in the Nazi party) who releases their albums on Elegy
Records, a National Socialist Black Metal record label based in Clifton,
New Jersey that was started by two former members of the neo-Nazi
National Alliance, Robert DiSienna and Greg Pillard. One of Craig
Pillard's bands Disma (also based out of Clifton, New Jersey), has been
banned from Maryland Deathfest, California Deathfest, Netherlands
Deathfest, and Chaos in Tejas fest for Pillard's neo-Nazi, anti-semitic
associations.http://www.mourningtheancient.com/sturm.htmhttp://www.metalsucks.net/…/disma-booted-from-netherlands-…/
The information detailed above was originally sent to the Oakland Metro
Operahouse's contact email address back on January 3rd, 2017 but no
response of any kind has been received. The promoter of the show,
Numbskull Productions, has also been contacted via email but no response
has been received either as of this writing. Local activists have since
been reaching out and communicating directly with members of Oakland
Metro without getting any real answers. In these times of
"alt-right" white supremacists attacking artist spaces in Oakland and
elsewhere following the tragic Ghostship fire, and Breitbart's neo-Nazi
troll Milo Yiannopoulos having recently attempted to kick off his
campaign against sanctuary campuses at UC Berkeley targeting
undocumented and trans students with the blessing of the Trump regime
before being met with resistance, it would be a huge insult for all
affected communities to allow a "crypto"-Nazi band like Marduk with
known white supremacist ties to come to town and profit off of their
glorification of Nazis. We ask everyone at this time to demand Oakland
Metro to cancel the show and in the event that the venue refuses, come
together as a community to shut it down.

ITP V.018's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.017's TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.018 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.

ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Any one whom "expects" ITP favors with out paying for adverts (or respecting that ITP does NOT do adverts nor monetize) can blow a goat.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
